Arsenal leader Michael Arita says his side should focus on what is in their hands after a “wonderful day” hit by Manchester City.
Gunners broke the Premier League champions, scoring four goals in the second half to take revenge for a fiery draw at Etihad earlier at the time.
Young weapons Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri and both Netted, sending the crowd of Northern London to a frenzy.
And while Arteta was clearly pleased with the result, she admitted that Arsenal should remain focused if they wanted to win the Premier League title.
He said: “It’s a wonderful day. Taking into account the opposition we played, the result we got and the way we did it. It makes it a special day.
“Many things have to go on your way.
“They are so good that they are forcing you to be deeper and be in a situation you don’t want to be. Sometimes you need a little luck and after that you have to be effective. We had to be brave and render.
“Is this possible?”

“Things have to go on your way and the line is so thin. I liked that the team showed a lot of personality and competitiveness.
“We have to keep doing the things we can control. Today it was a difficult game for us and we managed to do it.”
Captain Martin Odegaard scored the opening opener for his homeland and was a steady threat to Gunners in the middle of the court.
He was happy with how his teammates were pushing and eventually saying the game.
He added: “It was a top game and a top result. The atmosphere was incredible and we all enjoyed that.
“We were rewarded with the high press, we won the ball and scored. The second half noted, but the way we reacted was brilliant. Then, after that, it was incredible what we did.
“There is a lot of pressure on this game, but we played a brilliant game. We know we can beat any team and today we showed that.”
